The process for ABR certification is extensive and involves several steps:
1. Education: Candidates must complete a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC). 2. Examinations: Candidates must pass a series of exams, including a qualifying exam and a certifying exam. These exams test knowledge in areas such as radiation biology, radiation physics, and clinical oncology. 3. Maintenance of Certification (MOC): Certified professionals must participate in ongoing education and assessment activities to maintain their certification. This ensures that they stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in their field.
